Yea, that person should be either the owner's son or something. Thai looking guy yea?

If I'm not mistaken, it also has Ksport brakes? Don't think he drives it hard enough because it always looks so clean :)

Someone should hit him up and get him to join us on one of our runs.

We need another funky colour so the Abom doesn't get all the attention!

yeah, I think he lives around perth st area as well. Was having a bit of a chat to him one night, he was telling me about his dramas with manual conversion using the auto ecu :P

10am eh, when and where are they cruising?

don't like swifts and focii (unless its a hottie driving) or flat brimmers!

It's on their facebook page - Last Place Cruising.

Meet at the lookout at 10am.

10:30 cruise starts heading out to ravensbourne lookout and photos taken.

12:00 - 12:30 back into toowoomba parking at the duggan st parking then into the gladstone for lunch n drinks.

I suppose from ravensbourne, we could then decide to go our way and have lunch at the withcott pub?

I personally wouldn't buy a swift nor a focus but apparently some of these guys have had their share of modded imports in the past. I have been known to discriminate against certain cars and mod trends but I'm trying to change my stripes :P

Did you get a number or get him to have a look at this thread?

Could get him to join us unless of course he likes driving/hardparking alone :closedeyes:

Yeah I might head out. Was going to go for a nice drive with Amy in the 32 on Sunday anyway. Might go to this instead

I'll prolly come along with you. Meet up at at HQ around 9:30?

I have no idea where this silly lookout is and cbf'd googling. I only know that north st passes straight thru the heart of derelict central in Toowoomba :P

Alternatively, could meet up at mine cos I think I'm closer to the lookout yea?

Pretty sure I am closest of all!

LOL alright then. We'll have to do our own sometime soon to make up for missing this one?

Besides, I haven't gotten the call from Chris to say I can pick up the new girl.

At least I know it's not a rushed in/out sorta job...or perhaps he just wants to keep the evo for a little bit to enjoy himself :ph34r:

I say we do exactly that Mr Nick! I'd be down with that. Right now I could do with some Thai/Chinese!

And that's good that she's all sorted now! You'll have to show me it one of these days - best not talk about it on here ;)

apparently farmers arms at cabarlah puts on a pretty good spread.

checked out that fb page as well, what is their theme????

They don't have a theme as far as I know. They just welcome anyone and everyone. All cars seem to be welcomed as well as long as they aren't idiots and abide by the rules of the cruise.

I didn't make it. Nobody seemed keen enough and I'm not rocking up alone.

When's the next TSO + E run? :P

I spent most of the day either running errands or watching the bathurst 12hr. Fking Nissan decided once again to prove they're shit by supplying blindfolds to each of their drivers and use it they did! :dry:

Can't wait to see what cars run at next year's. I'm surprised that none of these rich people chose to use an LFA or a Koenigsegg or an Aston Martin. If they can spend stupid money fitting a 5ltr V8 into a Ford Focus and turn it RWD, they should have gone for something that exotic just for kicks.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
